As is traditional, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has already stated that SSDI (workers with disabilities) benefits will be paid on the second, third, and fourth Wednesdays of each month for beneficiaries who began claiming benefits after May 1997.
The exact dates differ based on the day of the month the individual was born. For the majority, paycheck Wednesday is allotted as follows: June 11, 2025, falls between June 1 and June 10. June 18, 2025, born between June 11 and 20. Born between June 21 and June 25, 2025.
June payment for SSDI recipients: one group completed, three more to go
For the small number of beneficiaries who claim payments before to May 1997, the payment date is fixed on the third day of each month (unless when that day falls on a weekend): in June, the payment was not adjusted and was deposited on the third. People whose Medicare premiums are covered by their state will likewise receive payment on June 3rd.
None of the days listed (3, 11, 18, 25) fall on a weekend or federal holiday in 2025, thus no modifications are planned.
Disabled workers with SSDI can anticipate up to $4,018 this month
The maximum monthly SSDI compensation for 2025 is $4,018. The average monthly SSDI benefit is approximately $1,580. Individual amounts vary depending on the individual’s income and contribution history. The computation formula takes into account wages that are liable to Social Security tax during a lifetime.
How much did the SSDI income increase in 2025? (And how much to predict in 2026)
The 2025 COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment) included a 2.5% increase in monthly Social Security income. This means that, on average, beneficiaries received a rise of $48 in their monthly checks.
The 2026 COLA adjustment will be formally announced in October 2025, once inflation data for the third quarter of the year becomes available. There is no official figure yet, but the Senior Citizens League (SCL) estimates it will be approximately 2.4%.
A alternate COLA prediction for 2026
Keil Financial Partners does not appear to fully agree with the SCL: it expects a 3.1% increase based on careful research of inflation statistics, and described how it produced this projection: As of today, we have seven of the twelve months of data that will be included in the final computation of the 2026 COLA. With this preliminary data, we can observe that the average index is up 1.38% over last year.
Based on historical averages over the last ten years, the following five months are expected to rise by an average of 0.34% over the preceding seven months. Using current data, the expected percentage is 3.14%, calculated as 1.0138 × 1.0173 minus 1.
This indicates that if inflation remains consistent with previous years, the COLA rise by 2026 will be around 3.1%.
